Morelia, a city of about one
million, rests on a gentle sloping hill overlooking the
Valley of Guayangareo and is one of Mexico's colonial gems.
Its historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Sight. At an
elevation of 6,302 feet above sea level, Morelia's climate
provides spring-like days throughout the year. The city and
surrounding state offer a refreshing addition to any
colonial city tour itinerary. Morelia is the capital of
Michoacán, a land of immense beauty. Michoacán is the
colonial Spanish translation of the Nahuatl word
Mechuacan, which means 'place of land of the fisherman'.
